I’d ditch my Pixel 9 Pro for the next Nothing phone, so long as it prioritizes these features

For the previous few years, Nothing has been synonymous with mid-range Android telephones that provide an aesthetic no different cellphone producer can match. The Nothing telephones are distinctive units, beloved by followers.

The corporate not too long ago introduced that the Nothing Cellphone 3 might be its first true flagship cellphone, and that ought to have followers champing on the bit to get their arms on the subsequent iteration.

The Nothing Cellphone 3 was initially set to be launched in 2024, however Nothing CEO Carl Pei pushed the discharge to Q1 2025. On X, @evleaks shared a leaked inside e-mail from Pei confirming the Nothing Cellphone 3 launch. In keeping with the leaked e-mail, the machine will introduce “breakthrough improvements in person interface, taking our first step towards our AI-powered platform.” 

Though the leak doesn’t affirm the cellphone’s specs, based on Cellphone Area, a number of the rumored specs embrace:

• Digicam – Sony’s newest LYTIA sensor with a 2X zoom
• Storage – 128 GB, 256GB, and 512GB.
• Design – clear again with Glyph lights
• Show – 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED with a 120 Hz refresh charge, a peak brightness of 1600 nits, and HDR10+ help
• Battery – 5,000 mAh or 4,880 mAh
• CPU – Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

The above are solely rumored specs, but when Pei plans to launch this as a flagship machine, the official specs higher come shut.

What I might prefer to see occur

I might desire that Nothing pull again its declare that the Cellphone 3 might be an AI-driven cell machine — however that is simply my opinion. 

As for audio, if Nothing added {hardware} help for high-res audio it might entice those that desire to listen to their music because it was meant. With extra headphones supporting high-res audio codecs, telephones with out {hardware} help cannot produce higher-quality sound. Given Nothing’s concentrate on modernity and a hipper crowd, it will make good sense for the Nothing Cellphone 3 to help the characteristic; in any other case, my high-res earbuds aren’t almost as high-res as I might like them to be.

I might additionally prefer to see Nothing go all in on the glyph lights as a substitute of pulling again and making them extra refined. Of all of the options the Nothing Telephones have to supply, the glyphs are those that really set the units aside. Think about having a flagship machine with customizable glyphs. That may very well be sufficient to lure me away from Google’s Pixel telephones.

Lastly, I hope Nothing would not jack the cellphone value so excessive that its present crop of followers cannot afford the machine. If the corporate can pull this off and keep inside the $600-$800 vary, the Nothing Cellphone 3 might make some severe waves.

As of now, there is no such thing as a official launch date (aside from Q1 2025), so maintain checking again. We’ll report the date as quickly because it’s out there.
